November 26[edit]

Irish or Scottish impression on kim possible and cyberchase[edit]

Is it an irish or scottish accent that Duff Killigan on Kim Possible and Gimmy the Golf Pro on Cyberchase speaks with? N.I.M. (talk) 02:12, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, Duff Killigan is definitely supposed to be Scottish (he wears a kilt and tam and all that). I've never seen the other show, and no golfer is mentioned in our Cyberchase article; but I'd guess that it's a Scottish accent there as well. Golfers are frequently depicted as Scottish, since the game was invented in Scotland. Deor (talk) 16:04, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Total Eclipse of the Heart[edit]

Who did the choreography for the video of Total Eclipse of the Heart? Thanks, DuncanHill (talk) 03:26, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It was directed by Russell Mulcahy, but you probably knew that. This in-depth analysis, unfortunately, doesn't mention a choreographer. Ghmyrtle (talk) 10:15, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting link, thank you. I've got a feeling the choreographer might be Arlene Phillips - she choreographed Wild Boys for Mulcahy, and there's a definite air of Hot Gossipitude about Eclipse. DuncanHill (talk) 11:34, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
My thoughts entirely, though I failed to find any confirmation, and one would have thought it would have been mentioned somewhere. Ghmyrtle (talk) 11:52, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Information on Visage backing singer[edit]

Does anyone happen to know the surname of Lorraine, the backing singer and dancer who performed alongside Perri Lister for Visage's TV appearances on German and Italian television? Thank you.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:24, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think it could be Lorraine Whitmarsh. She is in Hot Gossip with Perri Lister in this YouTube video. The other possibility is Lorraine Doyle, here, who was also in Hot Gossip, as well as being in the Benny Hill Show - more details about her in an interview here in which she doesn't mention any connection with Visage. I could well be wrong though. Ghmyrtle (talk) 09:51, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I have seen the two names and wasn't sure which Lorraine was in the Visage television clip. She's much shorter than Lister which could be a clue.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 10:29, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
